Dickerson could not play in the second half of the NFC championship game because of a left knee injury. Nick Sirianni said "we'll see" about Dickerson's return to face the Chiefs.

Dickerson hadn’t snapped the football in a game since Sept. 29, when he handled seven. Philadelphia used Nick Gates for 12 snaps during a November game, then had him go all the way in the regular-season finale, when the Eagles sat many of their starters in preparation for the playoffs.
